I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Baylor University and a B.A. in Human Dimensions of Organization from the University of Texas at Austin. My clinical experience includes providing therapy and crisis intervention across a range of settings, including community mental health, schools, hospice care, and specialized treatment programs for OCD and eating disorders. I have trained at nationally recognized programs such as McLean OCDI Houston and hold certifications as a Certified Trauma Professional and Inclusive Eating Disorder Specialist.
I currently offer individual therapy to adults and young adults via secure telehealth across Texas. I am available for self-pay clients and offer a free 15-minute consultation to help prospective clients determine if my approach is the right fit for their needs. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, neurodiversity-informed, and welcoming to individuals from all backgrounds and identities.
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and associate psychotherapist who specializes in working with individuals navigating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders, body image concerns, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and attachment-related challenges such as codependency and emotional avoidance. I work best with clients who are feeling overwhelmed by internal struggles, stuck in long-standing patterns, or carrying the scars from difficult family experiences or other early life experiences. My ideal clients are those who are seeking a collaborative space to better understand themselves, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and cultivate more authentic and compassionate ways of living.
My approach is warm, integrative, and trauma-informed. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). I also incorporate elements of psychodynamic therapy, somatic experiencing, and narrative exposure work to help clients access deeper healing and insight. My style is relational and client-centered, grounded in the belief that therapy is most effective when it feels safe, collaborative, and attuned to each person’s unique context and needs.
